    "Natalie Portman naked and petrified, with hot grits down her sweet, sweet panties. Hrmm.... don't wake me from this dream. Everlast. Diablo, Deus est."

    "Take that slashdot fucker. Swallow hole. And bend over. It is your turn to be the pillow biter. Thankyou and goodnight. Say Hi to your mum for me."

    "Fuck me. Fuck you. Lets fuck like rats."

    And the way the chick says "Fuck" and "Fucker" almost turns me on. Very sexy voice, though it has a Stephen Hawking twang to it.

    Maybe in windows 2010 I will have a chick with such a nice voice that my girlfriend/wife will be jealous of all the hours I spend with my digital companion.
